Vibrational spectra and nuclear site group analysis of flake-like CrSbO4 nanomaterial.

Abstract: In the present paper, we synthesized a new type of rutile CrSbO4 nano-flakes using electrospinning. The rutile structure of the novel CrSbO4 nano-flakes has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The five and seven theoretically observable Raman peaks and FTIR absorption bands, which were calculated by nuclear site group analysis, are in accordance with the experiment results for the flake-like CrSbO4 nanomaterial. Based on the three-flux approximation, the indirect band gap of the rutile CrSbO4 nano-flakes is about 2.44eV. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
